Tasked with designing for a post-pandemic, introverted world, we interviewed concert-goers to reach an insight: introverts face higher barriers to participate. With this in mind, we created Embracelet, a bracelet that allows users to signal distress. Pulling on a tab activates blinking LEDs, and causes the Embracelets of nearby concert-goers to vibrate to alert them that someone needs to pass through. This provides a sense of security and levels the playing field so everyone can feel included.
